Configuring iSeries™ printing requires that all the hardware components, network configuration settings, and software involved in the connection work together effectively. You can avoid many potential problems with this process by verifying that your printer is fully compatible with the printing protocol that you are using. The IBM® Knowledge Base document "Support for Various ASCII Printers" (search for the document title at www.ibm.com/support/) contains a list of known protocols supported by some common printers.
